I have been on-arm testing for several years but my old kit wore out. I have been sent a replacement One Touch Select Plus but the pricking device does not allow deep enough access to draw sufficient blood from my forearm.
Any ideas would be very gratefully received.
 
Hi Rod - I've never tested on my arm. I have heard it mentioned a couple of times on the forum over the years but can't think of anyone I currently know of using it. Was it the One Touch you were using before, and have they changed the design in some way? I've always used the Accuchek Multiclix finger pricker, which does have several depth settings on it, which for me would go well beyond what I need for testing my finger (I use setting 2, it has 5).
 
Lancing devices typically have a separate transparent cap for Alternative Site Testing.
